Short-Term Running Goals:

 

3:20 marathon - Eugene Marathon, April 28, 2013 (can I say I really want a sub 3:20? but I will be happy with 3:20-3:23) -- whoohoo!

Some good intermediate races 15K - 1/2 marathon, to gauge my fitness level (done this, hit a 1:34:35 1/2 marathon in March 2013, on a hilly course)

Going after my 10 mile PR in Fall 2013

Maybe some good 10K races after the infernal Arizona summer is over! 




Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to be one of those runners who is still running in their 80s (or 90s?).  You know the ones, who look all grisley and fit?  That is what I would like!  Until then, I just want to work hard and be as fast as I can, for as long as I can.


Personal:

50 year old, trying to defy gravity and time

Used to be faculty at the University of Arizona (biostatistics).  Currently manager of the statistics and data management group for companion diagnostics (biomarkers) at Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.

AM: (8.5, I don't have a time here -- I did not stop my watch when I finished my run ?? whoops).  Fed Big Boy and CoCo ... enjoyed the beautiful day.  Thought about my Mom, and how much I am missing her this Christmas.  

PM: easy 4.

 

I feel pretty good, I am not really sure I can run a 3:20 marathon, but I am sure I will run as well as I can, and I am pretty sure I can run under 3:30 right now.  I am just grateful for being able to run.

Merry Christmas bloggers.

Merry Christmas Bonnie. You might be one of the few people I can get away with saying this to. I love you. That didn't feel awkward at all.

oh Burt, I just teared up (in a good way). Thank you. I love you too. And, I really appreciate you, for all your awkward qualities xo

Definitely agree with the sub-3:30 for Houston, maybe a lot better, you are on a roll.

I'll leave you and Burt alone now, merry Christmas!
